Mr. James will oversee the delivery of cost-effective, standardized and interoperable human resources solutions for Soldiers, and will manage the development of the Commander’s Risk Reduction Dashboard, the latest addition to the AHRS portfolio.

Prior to his selection as PD AHRS, Mr. James served as the deputy project director for the Force Management System program from December 2014 to June 2015.

“I am motivated by the opportunity to serve a purpose greater than self,” remarked Mr. James at the ceremony. He explained his leadership philosophy of mission first, Soldiers and civilians always: “We must be team players and strive for win-win solutions, while we also set and enforce high standards and treat everyone fairly.”
